The director of the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative pleaded guilty Wednesday in Greece Justice Court to one count of driving while ability impaired.

Leonard Brock, 36, received a one-year conditional discharge and will have his license suspended for 90 days.

Brock also must attend a seven-week program on impaired driving and a one-time session of a victim impact panel. He was assessed a $300 fine and $260 state surcharge.

Driving while ability impaired is by law a traffic violation, said Tom Splain, Brock’s attorney.

“He’s embarrassed, he’s humbled,” Splain said.

The plea stemmed from an incident at approximately 1:06 a.m. July 1 in the area of Long Pond Road. Greece police arrested Brock and charged him with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and various traffic offenses, including speeding.

Splain said Brock had two to three mixed drinks over the course of the evening while at a bar with members of a doctoral course he teaches at St. John Fisher College. “He thought he was well under the legal threshold,” Splain said. “He’s a rather large individual. He didn’t think 2½ drinks at the bar would be anywhere near enough to impair him.”

Splain said Brock’s breath test at the scene registered .06. The threshold for driving while intoxicated is .08. Splain said that a range of .05 to .07 by law is considered driving while ability impaired.

“He certainly recognizes a lack of judgement that night, putting himself and other motorists in any situation,” Splain said.

Splain said Brock’s sentence is consistent with pleas to driving while ability impaired. The plea satisfied all the other charges.

A statement from the office of the Monroe County District Attorney said it evaluates DWI charges on a case by case basis and considers factors such as the driver’s blood alcohol content and whether the person has any prior convictions.

This was Brock’s first offense.

The license suspension takes effect in 20 days. Splain said Brock will receive a conditional license, which allows him to drive for work-related events, to court-ordered classes, to doctor’s appointments and for three hours a week for personal needs.

Brock was announced as director of the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative in May 2015. The initiative brings together leaders from business, education, health care and government with the goal of reducing the rate of poverty by 50 percent by 2030. Brock holds a doctorate of education in executive leadership from St. John Fisher, and a master’s degree in public administration from The College at Brockport. RMAPI is housed at the United Way of Greater Rochester.

The co-chairmen of the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative, Daan Braveman and Marvin McMickle, issued a statement: “We support Dr. Brock and believe he will be addressing this personal matter. We will continue to support the entire RMAPI team as they continue to do the crucial work of poverty reduction throughout our community.”
